Woodley is going to be fine, he is not washed up like everyone just wants to think. Worilds is still terrible though, i dont get the hopefulness surrounding him each year

Cortez Allen is going to be a lot better than keenan lewis

Agreed on all counts. Every year is Worilds "breakout year" and he never delivers. He had every opportunity last year and was still garbage. A few gimme, unblocked, "run straight at the QB" sacks and all of a sudden he's better than Woodley. Give me a break.

there are some disturbing trends in his lack of ability to put together a consistently above the line season. with more focus on him due to the absence of Harrison... it's hard to expect more than the typical Woodley year (half a season of good production, have a season without much....)

I don't think Woodley is washed up. I just don't think he ever deserved top pass rusher money... he was a bad investment.

I agree that its been a bit if an issue, Woodley is very streaky... But I wouldn't put 2011 and 2012 in there. Injuries ruined both of those seasons for him. I have no doubts that if he's healthy he can be a dominant player like he was in 2011 without Harrison across from him. Woodley had multiple sacks in each of the 4 games Harrison missed. He was the only pass rushing threat we had, the only passrusher opposing offenses had to focus on and he still dominated. Then the hammy injured ruined the rest od the season. That's why I believe if he's healthy, like Train said, he could have his best season as a pro.

He has to overcome 2 trends (inconsistency and injuries)... I tend to err on the side of caution, instead of optimism.
